Pain in one ear whenever I clean it

Question

Asked for Male, 23 Years

Whenever I try to penetrate or put earbuds in my left ear it causes me a sharp pain and it almost feels like I can't beyond that point. It only happens to my left ear and the right one is absolutely fine. I've dealt with this issue for years and I was just curious to know what could be the reason.
